THE WEIGHT OF CHAINS 2

A 2014 Canadian-Serbian film dealing with neoliberal reforms in the Balkans and the effects of these reforms on all aspects of life in the former Yugoslavia, from politics, economics, military, culture and education to the media. Through stories of sold off companies, corrupt politicians, fictional tribunals and various military alliances, the film deconstructs modern myths about everything the people have been told will bring them a better life. By confronting claims made by the interviewees and analyzing the cases of the implementation of the Washington Consensus in the former Yugoslavia, as well as the turmoil in Venezuela, Iceland, Ecuador, Greece and Argentina, the message of the film is clearly presented - resistance to neoliberalism is no longer a matter of ideology, but of common sense. Featuring exclusive interviews with Noam Chomsky, Oliver Stone, Carla Del Ponte, Ivo Josipoviæ, Vuk Jeremiæ, Domagoj Margetiæ, Igor Mandiæ, Jelena Miliæ, Sonja Biserko, Slavko Kuliæ and others.
